Shreks Talking Donkey Vs Biblical Miracles
by EverApostate ini am an ex jw who acted as a robot to the wt corporation for 12 years and then finally found the ttatt.
yes, i would say that i was a robot and not a slave to wt because slaves do think, even though they dont have the power to free themselves.. upon exiting the wt i did some extensive research on the bible, believing there is still some true religion out there.
amazingly, my respect for the bible came down like a pack of cards, after my little research, if not fully.. the scientific errors, contradictions, wickedness, cruelty and a bizarre human sacrifice to please a god, everything is ridiculous.. we all must have seen the movie shrek, where the main character in it is a talking donkey.

How I recently handled JWs at my door
by Christian guy inthe jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.
i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.
so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.

Can one find God without studying the Bible?
by Dis-Member ini don't recall jesus ever once telling people that they should even read the bible to find god.. he said nothing about 'taking in knowledge' either.. .
he didn't encourage people to read the bible because 90% of people in his day couldn't read!
the bible was not read by most people, it was -heard- when someone else read it aloud.

The Bizarre Free Will
by John_Mann intwo years before i left jw world i came to a strange conclusion about the jw cosmology and the free will doctrine.. basically i came to conclusion that satan is right about the universal sovereign issue.
and i came with that just only using jws premises, no outside apostasy.
i just told to my sister what she thought about it, and she said to me: dont tell anyone about this!.

Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.
